Big shout for a dark and gripping Danish series on All4: Deliver Us
The premise is clear from the outset: a group of residents in a small town have had their lives intolerably damaged by the town bully (including the violent death of one of their sons). They resolve as a group to do away with the bully.
To this extent, it’s like Murder on the Orient Express through the looking glass - focusing not on the whodunnit aftermath of the joint-enterprise crime, but on the developing motivations and preparations for the intended act.
So a patient but intriguing build-up through 6 of the 8 episodes...
... and then, that rarest of things, a conclusion that ups the tension, providing a true climax of brilliantly-delivered twists and excitement, and a coda that is both satisfying and ominous.
Well worth a watch, I reckon"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I thought Pursuit Of Love improved vastly last night . Much less frenetic - almost moving in places. Though for the Lily James averse there was plenty to bridle at. She does this thing with her tongue (sort of licking her teeth) which is , well, weird. And how many baths is the director going to get her to have ? But all in all a much better watch
To answer my own question . The problem with The Underground Railroad is that it is horribly violent.

Spoiler alert - I found the third episode reverted to tedious...
